Education and Community Participation
Museo Ballena Azul Loreto is a strong advocate of knowledge sharing and education, and these are fundamental elements of the Study’s core activities. We foster community participation in research and education to promote understanding and conservation of endangered blue whales and their feeding habitat.
For several years, we have successfully run a youth mentoring program for local high school students. We also give public talks and presentations, engage in media work, provide community training in blue whale monitoring, and develop and publish educational materials.
